HOLDER-SLIDE.

Specification oft-otters Patent. Patgntd N 28, 1916,

Application flied October 26 1915. Serial No. 57,934.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Gnonen F. HAsnnvs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sinton, in the county of San Patricio and State of Texas, have invented certain new and, useful Improvements in Holder-Slides, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a holder slide.

The object of the invention is to provide a device of the character described wherein a mechanical movement, such as a chronometer, may be secured and which may then be inserted in a kinetoscope whereby the movement may be reflected on a screen.

With the above and other objects in view the invention has particular relation to certain novel features of construction, arrangement of parts and use, an example of which is given in this specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawing wherein:

. Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of Fig. 1 taken on the line wa, Fig. 3 is a partial fragmentary side elevation of the top portion of the frame, Fig. 4 is a plan view ofthe device, Fig. 5 is a fragmentary plan view showing the watch removed, Fig. 6 is a partial fragmentary view of the :rear end of the device showing the locking mechanism.

Referring now more particularly to the drawing wherein like numerals of reference designate similar parts in each of the figures thenumeral 1 refers to a rectangular frame of convenient dimensions having the handle 2'and one side of which is provided with the stop 3 to insure the insertion of the holder the proper distance in the kinetoscope. The frame has the transparent sides 4: and 5 secured thereto forming with the frame an inclosed chamber. mechanical movement is secured within this chamber and being usually the ordinary watch it is fixed in position by means of the stem which is fitted through an orifice provided for the purpose in the frame. @ne side of the frame has a recess 6 therein to render the stem accessible, the outer end of said stem being flush with the corresponding edge of the frame.

The chronometer or other One convenient way of preparing the frame so that chronometer, or other objects sought to be displayed, may be readily inserted or removed is to provide the top portion of the frame in two parts with the central lengthwise part extending from said orifice to one end removable and dove-tailed into the other part of the top of the frame as in Figs. 2 and 6, shown at 7 and 8, with a suitable means for locking these dove-tailed parts together so as to secure the stem in said orifice. By removing the central part the watch may be placed in position or removed.

This holder is designed particularly for the purpose of displaying watch movements to audiences and for other similar advertising purposes.

While I have shown this particular method for removing the chronometer from the frame it is quite obvious that other mechanical equivalents may be substituted therefor for holding the chronometer steady or for providing a means for removing the chronometer from the frame.

What I claim is:

1. A. holder for a watch including a frame having a marginal recess in one side thereof to receive the watch stem, transparent sides for the frame forming therewith an inclosed chamber, a stop projecting from the frame and a projecting handle carried thereby.

2-. A. holder including a frame, the one side thereof having an orifice therethrough, the outer end of which is enlarged forming a recess, said sidebeing formed of two parts dove-tailed together, transparent sides for the frame forming therewith an inclosed chamber, a stop projecting from the frame and a projecting handle carried by said frame.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

GEORGE F. HASKINS.
